Instructions

  • Preheat your pressure cooker and add 1 cup of water to the bottom to create steam.
  • Spray or butter a 7x11 pan that fits into your cooker.
  • Mix cake mix, melted butter, 2 eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Press into the bottom of your greased pan to form the crust.
  • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining 2 eggs and cocoa powder. Stir until even.
  • Gradually mix in powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fluffy. Pour over the crust and spread evenly.
  • Place pan on rack in cooker. Seal lid and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.

Notes
